	<h2>False birthday</h2>
	<p>
		The eyeglass shop insisted I give them my date of birth, but never would give me even a single valid reason why they needed it.
		They just said that because they were building a medical record for me due to the exam, the date of birth needed to be present.
		They claimed they weren&apos;t going to try to gather records from other places and weren&apos;t going to share my record with anyone, so there really was no reason for them to have my date of birth.
		So I gave them my real birth year, as my age might have some impact on something, but claimed January first to be the month and day.
		It looks like I made the right call.
		They sent me an email today wishing me a happy birthday.
		I absolutely abhor people pestering me about my birthday.
		I wish they&apos;d treat it like the normal day it is and just ignore it.
		I don&apos;t like holidays, as they&apos;re just days people try to claim hold special meaning when they don&apos;t.
		But with birthdays, it&apos;s personal.
		People are specifically trying to drag <strong>*me*</strong> into that garbage.
		There&apos;s no good reason for that.

		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			Like you said, having two buffers is the worst case.
			We really don&apos;t see how well these buffer pool strategies work, because the buffer pool is too small for anything to be kept efficiently.
		</p>
		<p>
			You make a good point that a $a[FIFO] buffer works well when reading data sequentially.
			Once the data is read once and used, it isn&apos;t needed again, so it&apos;s safe to just evict the oldest data from the buffer pool to make room for new data.
